Just OK

Windshield chips very easily, Review mirror, manual (day & night), Flasher button on front panel, were other
control buttons are located, easily turned on when utilizing other control, should be relocated. For the price of this car, should be a little nicer.

Overall, it was a great fit for our family!

Not as spacious as our previous minivan, but I don't get stuck in my driveway anymore! I like the ease of shifting and maneuvering this vehicle. The heat and air work well and quickly, too. I also like the steering controls for my blue-tooth and radio. I really appreciate the digital screen alerts above my speedometer to inform me of low tires, gas in tank, mileage, direction etc.
